I now have an idea to write a one shot where Ursa and Iroh do not get along at all post canon, and whenever they're in a room together the tension is so thick that you can cut it with a knife. Zuko of course finds this very uncomfortable because he wants his two favorite people in the world to get along, meanwhile Azula finds it to be absolutely hilarious because finally, finally someone understands that Iroh isn't this perfect human being that everyone sees him as, and how ironic is it that the person who realizes this is her mother?

Azula's Strong Emotional Empathy Skills
Often times, people assume that Azula is bad at empathy, or at least emotional empathy. However, I would dispute that, and argue that her compassionate empathy skills in particular are actually extremely strong and off the chart, at least when it involves someone she cares about.
ATLA gives several examples of Azula showing off her empathy skills. The first comes in "The Crossroads of Destiny":
Azula: We've done it, Zuko. It's taken a hundred years, but the Fire Nation has conquered Ba Sing Se.
Zuko: I betrayed Uncle.
Azula: No, he betrayed you. [She stands up from the throne.] Zuko, when you return home, Father will welcome you as a war hero.
Zuko: But I don't have the Avatar. What if Father doesn't restore my honor?
Azula: He doesn't need to, Zuko. [She puts a hand on Zuko's shoulder.] Today, you restored your own honor.
She notices Zuko is uneasy, and does a pretty good, if not entirely successful job trying to reassure him and make him feel better.
Next we come to "The Awakening":
[Meanwhile, back at the Fire Nation Capital, Zuko feeds turtle ducks in a lake with some bread. Azula joins him.]
Azula: You seem so downcast. Has Mai gotten to you already? Though actually, Mai has been in a strangely good mood lately.
Zuko: I haven't seen Dad yet. I haven't seen him in three years, since I was banished.
Azula: So what?
Zuko: So, I didn't capture the Avatar.
Azula: Who cares? The Avatar is dead … [Zuko looks away.] unless you think he somehow miraculously survived.
It's easy to miss out on this with where the scene ends up going, but what's actually the inciting reason for the scene to happen in the first place is that Azula knows Zuko is out of sorts, and wants to reassure him. She knows exactly where he is likely to go when he's sad or anxious, the turtleduck ponds which reminds him of Ursa, and easily finds him there. However, in her attempts to reassure him, she begins to suspect that he's hiding something from her, and the scene gets derailed.
Next up is "The Beach":
Zuko: [Cut to closer view of Zuko and Mai. Angrily.] Doing nothing is a waste of time. [Rises from his seat next to Mai.] We're being sent away on a forced vacation. [Walks over and grips the railing of the boat.] I feel like a child.
Azula: [Frontal view.] Lighten up. So Dad wants to meet with his advisors alone, without anyone else around. Don't take it personally.
Azula instantly tries to reassure Zuko here, although she's less skillful about it than in some other cases.
Next up is the famous "Azula apologizes to Ty Lee" scene. As I've argued elsewhere, Azula is very skillful in comforting Ty Lee there. She knows exactly what she needs to say and do to make Ty Lee feel better.
Then, after Zuko gets kicked out of the party, we get this scene
Azula: I thought I'd find you here.
Zuko: [Side-view.] Those summers we spent here seem so long ago. So much has changed.
Azula: Come down to the beach with me. Come on. This place is depressing.
Azula's empathy is really impressive here. She apparently not only realized that Zuko would end up in a bad funk and cared enough to do something about it, but she also knew exactly where he would go in his depressed emotional state.
We then have the famous "fireside" scene. Azula isn't always the nicest person here, but her ability to understand the emotions of others is on full display:
Zuko: [Turning around.] For so long I thought that if my dad accepted me, I'd be happy. I'm back home now, my dad talks to me. Ha! He even thinks I'm a hero. [Close-up of Azula, who smiles.] Everything should be perfect, right? [Aerial view of campsite.] I should be happy now, but I'm not. [Turning back to the others.] I'm angrier than ever and I don't know why!
Azula:[Frontal view.] There's a simple question you need to answer, then. Who are you angry at?
Zuko: [Close-up.] No one. I'm just angry.
Mai [Side-view of the three girls.] Yeah, who are you angry at, Zuko?
Zuko: [Close-up.] Everyone. I don't know. [Becoming frustrated.]
Azula: [Frontal view.] Is it Dad?
Zuko: [Close-up.] No, no.
Ty Lee: [Frontal view.] Your uncle?
Azula: Me?
Zuko: [Close-up.] No, no, n-no, no!
Mai: [Close-up.] Then who? Who are you angry at?
Azula: [Camera pans left, past Ty Lee, to Azula.] Answer the question, Zuko.
Ty Lee: [Close-up.] Talk to us.
Mai: [Extreme close-up.] Come on, answer the question.
Azula: Come on, answer it.
Finally, we have this scene from Nightmares and Daydreams:
Azula: Hello, Zuzu. If you've come for a royal hair-combing, I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
Zuko: So I guess there's a big war meeting coming up, huh? And apparently I'm not welcome there.
Azula: What do you mean? Of course you're welcome there!
Zuko: Oh, yeah?! I guess that's why no one bothered to tell me about it!
Azula: Oh, Zuko. Don't be so dramatic. I'm certain Dad wants you there. You probably just weren't invited because it's so obvious you're supposed to be there.
Zuko: Well, were you invited?
Azula: Of course! I'm the princess.
Zuko: And I'm the prince!
Azula: Exactly, so stop acting like a paranoid child! Just go to the meeting.
Zuko: Forget it! I'm not going!
Although Azula instantly moves to try to comfort Zuko, this is in many ways her least successful scene. She struggles to contain her frustration with Zuko's behavior.
Still, overall Azula displays an impressive record, and shows very strong compassionate empathy skills. However, it's only toward the people she's close to, as she has no reason to display them toward enemies.

Azula’s pep talk to Zuko, Ty Lee, and Mai moments before the eclipse on the day of Black Sun. Before she has to go into the distraction bunker.
———
Azula: You know I think it’s really admirable that you all chose to stay and fight for the people of Caldera city.
Ty Lee: Oh! Thanks Azula!
Azula: When I first met you all, I honestly never thought you’d amount to anything, but you’ve really proven me wrong. Even You Zuko.
Mai: Uh… Cool. Thanks… Azula.
Azula: Sure, you might not be the most conventional group of soldiers, but no matter the challenge, you always manage to find a way to come out on top. And that’s something really special.
Zuko: … What’s goin’ on with you?
Azula: Me? Nothing.
Ty Lee: No, you’re acting really weird.
Azula: I just want you all to know how much I appreciate you… That’s it.
Mai: You think we’re gonna fucking die!
Azula: No, I don’t!
Mai: No, you do! You definitely do! You’re getting all sentimental and shit!
Azula: (very obviously lying) Nooooo! Guys! Come on, you’ll be fine! I’ve got total faith in you! You’re some of the best soldiers I ever knew!
Ty Lee: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT PAST TENSE BULLSHIT?
Azula: Look, I just want you to know, I’m proud of you. I’m sure if you stick together, you’ll be okay. What unit are you in?
Zuko: Volunteered for the front lines!
Azula: Oooooh.
Mai: YOU WHAT?
Ty Lee: ZUKO!
Azula: Well… Look on the bright side!
Azula: …
Mai: …
Ty Lee: …
Zuko: …
Mai: You know if you say that, you’re supposed to follow it up with the bright side.
Azula: I know…

Azutara AU - Ozai angers a spirit, but, because Azula is actually the one there, it decides to curse Azula. Every night, she transforms into a dragon until sunrise. The curse can only be broken by Azula proving to the spirit that she deserves to have the curse lifted. While the Gaang is traveling through the Earth Kingdom, Katara sees a dragon get shot down and runs to help. When Katara finds the dragon, the sun is just rising and Katara witnesses this giant blue dragon transform into the princess that's they fought in Omashu

Mai headcanon time.
I think Mai knows about the asylum Azula went to. Not necessarily the details, but enough to know that it is a very bad place. Ukano and Michi probably told her that's where she would get sent if she acted up. After all, they're the reasons she bottled up all of her emotions and was unable to express herself. So it's not that big of a stretch if the place's reputation for troubled Fire Nation girls is well known to people like Azula.
All the more reason for Mai to clam up and be as stoic as she is. After all, being quiet and sitting still is good behavior. And Azula in the Spirit Temple is pretty blatant about what happens to girls that don't show good behavior...

I had a nasty, non-AU idea
Often times people go with the idea that, when Ursa had to leave in Zuko Alone, she went to say goodbye to Zuko and told him to "never forget who [he] was," but never said goodbye to Azula. This makes a lot of sense.
However, I think there's another possibility. Maybe Ursa did go and say goodbye Azula. However, what she said to Azula wasn't about Azula. Instead, Ursa sternly told Azula to always be nice to Zuko and to always do what she could to protect him and take care of him. Ursa's last moment with Azula was effectively telling Azula to take over Ursa's responsibilities, instead of meeting or recognizing Azula's needs.
This might help explain why Azula was angry but also gleeful the morning after Ursa left, why she goes to considerable efforts to try to look after Zuko later in the story, and why Azula thinks Ursa didn't lover her.

My impression of you based on your primary AtLA ship (in no particular order)*
Katara/Jet: you are consistently confused as to why your friends HATE the guy you’re talking to
Zutara: you are a strong independent woman who don’t need no man so it’s gonna piss you off the first time a man sees you for who you really are and you become obsessed with him for life
Kataang: so…mommy issues, huh?
Azula/Sokka: and here’s the daddy issues
Sokka/Suki: you’re a top…or you’re a bottom, depending on who you identify most with in this couple
Sokka/Ty Lee: you were a jock in high school
Zuko/Mai: be honest, you still listen to a lot of My Chemical Romance, don’t you?
Azula/Mai or Azula/Mai/Ty Lee: you are gay
Zukka: you are not gay but you have written a lot of Wolfstar fanfiction
disclaimer: these are JOKES. Ship whoever you want, and direct your complaints to HR ty
